BASIC GAME RULES
In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetriminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.
Tetriminos fall from the top of the playing field to the
bottom.
Each Tetrimino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.
You must rotate the Tetriminos as they fall and fit them
together to create lines.
If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventual-
ly rise to the top of the playing field and the game will
end.
E
G
AME LEVELS
As you advance to each level, the speed at which the
T
etriminos drop will increase. Tetris® will automatical-
ly advance to the next game level each time you clear
t
en lines.
S
CORING
During game play, the total score will appear in the
Score/Line Count indicator at the top right-hand cor-
ner of the screen. When you complete a line or multi-
ple lines, the Score/Line Count indicator will show
your total line count, for two seconds. It will then
r
eturn to your total.
P
oints are awarded for clearing each completed line of
Tetriminos as follows, multiplied by the current level.
N

G
ame starts at level “00.” The “point multiply”
w
ill start by 2 at level “01.”
I
n the event that you score more points than can be
displayed, a “Roll Over” will occur and the score dis-
play will restart at zero. A Roll Over is indicated by
dashes in front of the score.
HIGH SCORES
The highest score of the game will be displayed in the
Score and Line Count indicator at the end of the
game.
